Gabapentinoids Phenibut hangover.. shit is no joke

[OpiateKiller]

Man I feel like wasted space right now. I took 3-4g of phenibut for the first time last night or the first time in a long time and damn…

This hangover blows. And I don’t get hangovers I can drink till the end of time or wake up off a benzo binge feeling great

But right now I feel horrible. Is this rebound anxiety? It almost feels like the day after MDMA when you wanna kill yourself that’s how I feel..

I’m sticking to pregabalin this sucks

 

[Jabberwocky]

Yep... lasts so long too. Brain zaps, dizziness, visual glitches, headache

phenibut effects last well over 36 hours, this is what you're feeling

whatever you do, do not take more

this is why I don't use phenibut anymore

Ya man this is terrible lol. I mean I slept good and for like 12 hours but now I just feel like trash.

I mean part of that trash feeling is probably kratom related and trying to get off of it. Only been back on it a few days but kratom is gonna land me in the psych ward I swear. Super high doses. and coming off of it cause me severe disassociation with life, like a very uncomfortable fuzziness and inability to think clearly

That or phenibut did that. I do not enjoy being disassociated.

You know that feeling in your lower back when you're really fucked up? idk if it's just me but when I get really high I can like feel it in my spine and that feeling hasn't gone away in like 12 hours. It's like my back is overly relaxed. I dont really even know what I'm trying to explain

 

[Jabberwocky]

man and trust me it gets even WORSE if you take more than 4g

I've overdosed a few times, like 12g within 72 hours, and it was really really bad... awful... side effects get so much worse

plus you start having "waking blackouts" where I was able to communicate and talk to people relatively normally, but I couldn't remember what day it was, what my name was, where I was at... but I was walking around talking as if nothing happened, very weird, thought I was having a stroke or something (and it scared the FUCK out of my sister)

and yeah you pretty much completely black out for hours on end, it's so fucking weird falling asleep and waking up still blacked out... :/

hate that drug, it's NOT abusable in my opinion

I think anything over 2 - 2.5g is just a bad idea , but at 2g it can be decent for anxiety and sleep but not every day

For those of your disparaging phenibut as being not worth it: I've been taking it on average 3-4 times a week for several years and rarely go above 1.5-2g in a single day. I almost never get a hangover or lingering effects like described in this thread, just FYI.

 

[Nurse Ratched]

I have actually been contemplating getting some and trying it. I have talked with several people on here about the ins and outs and do's and dont's.

And 1 gram is where I was told to start.......maybe 2 at the very most. And not every day. I only use kratom right now ( got clean a couple years ago ) but lately there's days where I need a bit more relaxation and calming effect so I thought why not. I could also use just the occasional kratom extract for the same purpose that I am looking for but cost wise I think a tub of phenibut would be my better option. I don't want to nod or fall asleep.......just get the same feeling as I would if I took one mg. of klonopin or 10 mgs of valium.

I actually started thinking about it back in August but never ordered any. I think it would be a handy thing to have in the cupboard to take as needed. I know it takes awhile to kick in and one shouldn't take any more than 2 grams per day on the day that you take it. If one has never really liked benzos but likes the relief they provide is it beneficial? Is phenibut likely to make one compulsively re-dose? I hear you just get sick if you take too much like with kratom.

 

[Pickledlemons]

Interesting. I only recall one phenibut hangover and I dont remember it being especially bad, just like a moderate alcohol hangover.

How many grams did you take that it produced the hangover? I most definitely do not ever want to get a hangover from it.

And does it have a " come down" ?Or do the effects just gradually wear off?

Hard to recall, I never took very big doses. Probably somewhere in the 1 - 2g range. Id say it just wears off more like benzos than something like coke where you just fall off a cliff. but there can be rebound anxiety.

 

[yubacity]

You taken to much then it horrible at a good dose it enjoyable remember first time getting it felt good so thought more better big mistake could not stop puking for about 12 hours horrible

I wouldn't personally describe it as a hangover. It's just the same effects... 24 hours later, right?

I don't feel hungover, I just feel fucked up from the same shit the night before, but the side effects become glaringly obvious after you wake up. High dose phenibut is very very unpleasant.

 

[Jabberwocky]

oh yeah, high dose phenibut, after about 60 hours of being high, will start to give me very clear visual hallucinations.... very clear, but weird, none like I've ever seen

in the papers it says it can produce psychosis, and withdrawal... I kinda always doubted that, but I don't anymore

if I take high dose phenibut for more than 2 days I will start to have very clear, intricate visual hallucinations projected on other things I look at. Very bizarre. It was like... high dose LSD CEVs, but projected onto everything I looked at.

now, it could just be exacerbating my previous psychosis symptoms... that would make sense... but still, concerning. The visuals didn't bother me, in fact, I thought they were kinda cool because I felt completely fine otherwise. But concerning.... and they only start happening after taking high dose phenibut for more than 2 days (I sleep just fine, no other drugs involved).

I actually was actively posting on BL when it first happened. It's documented on here. I was seeing mickey mouse cartoons on my computer screen, fractal micky mouse.

I know this probably sounds like I'm crazy, but I'm not (my brain is fried but im not crazy anymore). I don't hear voices and see shit anymore. I could tell these hallucinations were definitely from the drug, although I might be sensitive to it.

......... just ranted for 5 min about how I'm not crazy and it looks crazy

I can never win, fuck >_< - but yeah, phenibut is not a drug of abuse at all, there's a reason the DEA hasn't nuked it yet - it kinda sucks

 

[Jabberwocky]

Imagine seeing LSD like visuals, projected onto surfaces, like every surface had a layer of tesselated moving decals moving in unison... not very bright, almost hard to see, but obviously there... almost as if your natural "visual snow" in the dark started taking on various patterns...

You also feel completely sober, not high at all.

It's pretty bizarre. That's what I'm trying to describe.

It's not from mental illness. It was from phenibut.

I'm really drunk not the best at typing right now

I understand. I hallucinate at inappropriate times too. Like bad opiate withdrawal has me both hallucinating like I'm on acid but also delusional, seeing people and animals that arent there.

I always thought it might have had something to do with my past psychadelic use, or the mental illness in my family, or both. but at baseline I feel I'm pretty sane but who knows I guess I shouldnt be my own judge, lol!

The only reason I ever had my psychosis was because of psychedelic drugs, I keep telling people, they aren't harmless!! Especially when used frequently! I used to be the biggest psychonaut and then it burned me, hard.

I have no history of genetic mental illness, and it happened to me. My psychosis was rather mild when I look at other cases, luckily, but it was just as traumatic.



and yeah, I've hallucinated from severe benzo withdrawal and various other things

I feel like the average person doesn't understand what a "hallucination" is, they imagine all sorts of extreme weird stuff

I tell people this shit all the time. No drug has ever permanently fried someone as bad as acid.

My friend will never be the same acid ruined him.

And I’ve seen a lot of crack and meth heads, acid is dangerous.

I caved and took 2g more of phenibut I flushed my Kratom though small victory

 

[Inner Light]

Phenibut is a hell of a drug.
The hangover will certainly get better.

I'd advice a lot of healthy food, supplements, and rest.
And looots of water.
